HARRY DIAMOND, or

ROANOKE, VIRGINIA COMBINED CIGAR LIGHTER AND TIP CUTTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 23, 1915. Serial No. 10,014.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it lmown that I, HARRY DIAMOND, a

I citizen of the United States of America, and

. actuates the tip cutter,

a resident of Roanoke, county of Roanoke, State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Cigar Lighters and Tip Cutters, of which the following is a full and clear specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device embodying my invention; Fig. 2 a vertical longitudinal sectional view thereof; Fig. 3 a transverse vertical section on the line 33 of *ig. 2; Fig. 4 a horizontal section on the line H of Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 a detail sectional view partly in side elevation of the torch extinguisher.

The object of this invention is to provide simple mechanism whereby the operation of the torch lighting sparker simultaneously and a further object is to so construct and arrange the filling spout of the torch bowl or tank that it may be used as a handle for operating the sparker, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings, a designates the tank or bowl of the torch, which is pivoted on a horizontal pivot at Z) to permit it to be tilted forwardly and backwardly. The vertical wick-tube 0 of this tank extends upwardly through a slot in the upper part of a box cl in which the tank is inclosed, and

pulled backwardly by this backward tilting action being arrested by contact of the wicktube 0 with the rear end of the slot.

The tank is provided with a filling spout f which extends horizontally out through a slot out in the end wall of the box cl in position where it may be conveniently used as a handle for swinging the torch forwardly in operating the sparker.

The sparking device is of any usual and improved form; in the present instance I have shown it to consist of a piece of steel 9 fastened to the upper end of the wick-tube in such position that it will cause a spark when the torch is swung forwardlyby cooperation with the spring-actuated pivoted steel finger it. When the torch is in its the tank is normally a retractile spring e,

normal position,

its wick-tube fits against a similarlyinclined extinguisher z mounted on a suitable bracket The usual, 76 together fastened tothe top of the box (Z. battery cell j and induction coil with suitable circuit wires are employed, the induction coil being conveniently mounted in the box a? and the cell being conveniently adjustable case or box Z atgZ, the upper part of this 'movable glass cover m and a glazed front panel a and adapted to house a cigar box 0.

In the path of the wick-tube is mounted the movable member 39 of a tip-cutter of usual form, so that when the wick-tube is moved PatentedJuly2O,1915.

the upper inclined endof forwardly it forces this cutter across the lower endof the tip-receiving cup 9 mounted 0n the top wall of the box (23 at a point ad acent to the torch, where it will be convenlent.

Having thus described my claim is: 1. In combination, a casing,

invention, what a movable torch supported therein and having a wick tube extending up through the top wall of said casing, means for I when it is moved in one direction, and a tip cutter on the under side of the top wall of lighting the torch p the casing having its movable member lying in the path of the movable torch, so that when said torch is moved on its lighting stroke the cutter will be operated directly by the torch.

2 In a cigar torch apparatus,-the combination of a casing having a slot in its top wall and another slot in one of it side walls, a torch pivotally supported in said casing and havingits wick-tube working through the slot in the top wall, the tank of said torch being provided with a filling tube extending out through the slot in the side wall and serving as a handle by which the torch may be tilted, and means whereby the tilting of the torch causes the wick to be lighted.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. HARRY DIAMOND. WVitnesses:
